What many may remember best about last night's Oscars were the acceptance speeches: It was a "particularly passionate evening," writes Alessandra Stanley in the New York Times. "The political speeches were somber, but they turned out to be more lively and bracing than any of (host Neil Patrick) Harris' skits." Three highlights:

Patricia Arquette, who won the best supporting actress award, took a stand for women's rights, Politico reports. "To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation: We have fought for everybody else's equal rights. It's our time to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America," she said, prompting an enthusiastic response from the audience (Meryl Streep and JLo's exuberant reactions are similarly making waves).

John Legend and Common won best original song for "Glory," from Selma, and they took the opportunity to voice concern about racial inequality, Politico reports. "We know that the Voting Rights Act that they fought for 50 years ago is being compromised right now in this country," Legend said of the Supreme Court's 2013 decision weakening the Voting Rights Act. "The struggle for freedom and justice is real. We live in the most incarcerated country in the world. There are more black men under correctional control today than were under slavery in 1850."

Graham Moore won best adapted screenplay for The Imitation Game, the story of Alan Turing, who faced prejudice for being gay, Time reports. Turing's work was underappreciated, Mashable notes, and he committed suicide at 41. Moore told his own story: "When I was 16 years old, I tried to kill myself because I felt weird and I felt different and I felt like I did not belong. And now I'm standing here, and so I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she's weird or she's different or she doesn't fit in anywhere. Yes, you do. I promise you do … Stay weird, stay different."

There have been multiple sworn affidavit criminal complaints naming Barack Hussein Obama and his criminal assistants in the commission of treason filed in multiple states by US citizens. Specific instances of Treason include but are not limited to the following: 1. U.S. Army troops were deployed in Samson, Alabama on March 10, 2009. In response to a Freedom of Information request by the Dothan Eagle (see Lance Griffin), the Department of Army Inspector General found that the armed troops deployed to Samson, Alabama violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which restrains the use of the military for civilian law enforcement purposes. 2. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA violated Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution by becoming the first United States President to chair the United Nations Security Council. To Wit: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, or Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State. 3. (a) Mr. OBAMA declared War on the Republic of Libya on March 17, 2011 without the approval of the Congress, violating Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of our United States Constitution. 3. (b) Mr. OBAMA has also entered into an Agreement with the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan), a foreign Power, and with the intent to sell 125 tanks to Egypt, home of the Muslim Brotherhood, violating Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of our United States Constitution. To Wit: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay. 4. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is under investigation by California Congressman Darrell Issa for Project Gunrunner, and justice is clearly obstructed in this case as well as the Black Panther voter intimidation case. Title 18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason: "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

I will only post the first 10 because of the length and time it takes. THE LEGAL LIMIT: THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S ATTEMPTS TO EXPAND FEDERAL POWER - The Obama Administration’s Abuse of Power By the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights Members: Of all the troubling aspects of the Obama presidency, none is more dangerous than the President's persistent pattern of lawlessness, his willingness to disregard the written law and instead enforce his own policies via executive fiat. The President's taste for unilateral action to circumvent Congress should concern every citizen, regardless of party or ideology. 1. Disregarded 1996 welfare reform law in granting broad work waivers for work requirements of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). 2. Implemented portions of the DREAM Act, which Congress rejected, by executive action. 3. Ended some terror asylum restrictions, by allowing asylum for people who provided only “insignificant” or “limited” material support of terrorists. 4. Allowed immigrants in the U.S. illegally, who are relatives of military troops and veterans, to stay in the country and get legal status. 5. Extended federal marriage benefits by recognizing, under federal law, same-sex marriages created in a state that allows same-sex marriage even if the couple is living in a state that doesn’t recognize same-sex marriage. 6. Recognized same-sex marriage in Utah, even though the Supreme Court stayed the court order recognizing same-sex marriage in Utah and Utah said it would not recognize same-sex marriages performed before the stay. 7. Refused to prosecute violation of drug laws with certain mandatory minimums. 8. Issued signing statements, refusing to enforce parts of congressional-enacted statutes. 9. Illegally refused to act on Yucca Mountain’s application to become a nuclear waste repository. 10.
